How rshvartzapel started their logo design journey

Summary

Looking for a logo with a design/studio feel for a wholesale pastry business which specializes in very high end laminated products. (i.e. croissants, danish, puff pastry)

Company name

Laminoir or Laminoir Cuisine

What inspires you and how do you envision the design for your business?

I would like a logo which can be easily branded. I have no issues if there is no "logo" per se but just an interesting play on the word Laminoir or Laminoir Cuisine. I need to see a play on both possibilities. I spent quite some time working for very high end patisseries and my products are testament to my experiences. For a point of reference of what I envision or what I like feel free to view pierreherme.com, laduree.fr, fauchon.com, balthazarbakery.com/wholesale/. A laminated product is one in which a fat layer (i.e. butter) is folded into a dough layer and refolded many times to create 100's if not 1000's of layer and in turn creates something light, airy, flaky and crisp. My business only focuses on these type of products.

Wants

I need a vector logo for use on website and business cards. Should have a "design studio" feel. I want logos that can be used on dark backgrounds (website) and light/white backgrounds (business cards & invoices). You can show 2 different versions of the same logo, it doesn't have to be one set logo that works on both.
